Yes you can and they seem to like them! I find them occasionally at the botttom of cages from a worm that disspeared somewhere in the cage and changed to a beetle. I figure if the larva are ok why shouldn't the beetle be?

Tyler,

All of our panthers avoid those beetles like the plague!
I haven't tried to feed them to the melleri - but someone mentioned they have a garlicky odor that is a natural deterant to being eaten..... yup, they do.

Let me know if you want more beetles... *LOL*
